Manuchehri-ye Damghani is among the poets who expressed considerable interest in music, and the musical terms in his divan are more frequent than the works of many other poets. According to the published texts, some of these terms appeared for the first time in his collection of poems (divan) - as far as observations and studies of music scholars have revealed. Therefore, the precise meanings and correct recordings of these terms are not crystal clear; particularly, since a worthwhile version of the original manuscript of his divan is unfound. This paper obtains an explanation of the meanings or the original recordings of several terms related to music in the divan of Manuchehri. Also, a few verses of his divan have been critically edited. In some cases, the explanation of the author does not provide a new meaning for a term, nor does it reject what has been said before, but conveys more information than other sources.
